Rudy Fernandez's Blog Entry

by G0Den on Sep 29, 2008 3:30 AM PDT

I don't know if you guys saw or not, but Rudy Fernandez updated his blog on Sunday. He is excited to be in Portland, went to dinner with Sergio, can't find a house to buy and is living out of a hotel! Also, he has been hanging out with some Nike executives! I for one say Nike should sign him, if they haven't already.

Here is the link to the translated entry (in English, I assume you want to read the translated entry!)

House Shopping

You don’t often hear an NBA millionaire commenting that the houses are “too large” so they will continue looking. I hope Rudy is as “down to earth” as he seems. Looks like another great character addition – long live KP!

Yeah

I love the term, “Desperate Women type mansions.”

It should be "Desperate Housewives".

that in Spain all women are housewives?
Talk about a sexist country.

Sounds like he wants to be Oden's neighbor

In the Pearl district. They can have neighboring condos and maybe knock down the shared wall and hang out together.

Lounging on the couch, watching Rudy’s favorite channel Telemundo, just working on that chemistry.

Rudy should live in actual Portland, like Oden is now. He’ll probably like it better than lame-o suburb land (and if you live out there you are the exception to lame-o land). That’s why NBA players think Portland is small town lame-a-zoid with nuthin’ to see or do, they live in Tualatin.

He's already a Nike boy, which is (nudge nudge, wink wink) probably an important factor in his decision to come...

Also, he has been hanging out with some Nike executives! I for one say Nike should sign him, if they haven’t already.

Rudy’s gonna make $16 million-bajillion in endorsements, just you wait and see! The NBA contract is chump-change.

Very Good Point!

Ah hah!

If so, Rudy’s decision begins to make financial as well as basketball sense. More power to him.

Somebody also

probably gave his mom a cushy very well-paid job.

Rudy's restaurant recommendation

Good ole online translations: "The second night we went by ourselves to have dinner with Sergio Rodriguez to a Spanish restaurant that is called Black Leg and I believe we are going to create a habit of going there… "

The restaurant they went to isn’t really called Black Leg. It’s called Patanegra and is on NW 23rd. Sounds pretty good — though it might be a little expensive if you went there every night to stalk Rudy.

Hmmm...

He probably shouldn’t mention where he likes to go eat. I’m not sayin I am going to go there or anything, but still. There may be ~~stalkers~~ women that would.

When asked about his thoughts during the Olympic games about playing against Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, Rudy responded "My first thought was respect. My second thought was to kick their ass".

Man I love him.

NW 23rd?

Hey that’s right where I used to live! Would be cool to be kickin’ it at a restaurant and suddenly in walks Rudy. Might be a good place to pick up on chicks too because now they’ll all be flocking there. The dudce deserves an endorsement contract from that restaurant!

We cannot put up with this flagrant lack of accountability anymore.

...except Rudy didn't mention the name of the restaurant, Corvid did.

Big endorsement deal for Corvid in the works. Then Rudy sues Corvid for informing Twiggs, who stalks Rudy to the point that his life is ruined. Corvid has to pay all his endorsement money to Rudy. Twiggs is arrested for kidnapping Rudy’s mom and demanding Rudy marry her if he wants to see his mom again in one piece.

Hey...didn't I say?

I wouldn’t stalk him? Sheesh, I might love the guy, but I’ll win him over with charm, not ruining his life or kidnapping his mother (I thought some Bedge guy was going to win her over and distract her from me anyhow)

No one ever intends to be a stalker

Don’t worry, Twiggs. You can still post and comment from the computer in the Club Fed library.

Maybe

you can even post comments on Rudy’s blog so he doesn’t forget you while you’re inside.

Twiggs

Here is the plan,we get the closest table at the Pantanegro,I impress the Senora with my Spanish and over all good looking charm.Then I convince her that the new casa really needs my carpenter services[you arent old enough to remember the old Albert King tune"crosscut saw"].You then volunter to show Rudy where to have a good time while I do the smoze the customer,free estamate thing

The overall plan is sound

I can lure him to the practice facility

With the promise of more minutes if he keeps practicing.

I haven't read the English translation.....

But from reading the Spanish (always good to combine school work with basketball) he seems genuinely impressed by the fans in Portland. He’s also very eager to settle in which is good, he clearly wants to get down and start focusing on the basketball ahead of him and get all the nitty gritty of moving out the way. I laughed at the Desperate Housewives comment, wouldn’t want to have his mum clean too much ey ;) He seems to like the city so far too, always a good sign. At least he describes it positively.

Well grounded, ready to settle in and excited. Just what the fans like.
